I love people who make mistakes. That's why I'm in the teaching business. I love people who make mistakes because I enjoy watching them learn and helping them, assisting them. I find it a beautiful process.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
As Buddhists, our only task is to keep our room clean.
Frederick Lenz
Wisdom is seeing that there are templates in the universe that you can follow. They will show you what to do and what not to do. In order to see them you have to make your mind very quiet, very still.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is the quickest path to enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
In Zen you are learning how to make new realities, to build things inside your mind.
Frederick Lenz
My teaching - of what is perceived to be a complex and foreign sounding religious philosophy - has become the target for people's prejudice and religious intolerance.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment has nothing to do with physical knowledge. It is the experience of existence. Existence is infinite. There are countless universes and creations taking place simultaneously.
Frederick Lenz
Words are a human way of trying to describe things. But they're much more of interference than they are a help in the world of enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
You are trying to pierce the veil, to break through the Frisbee so that it doesn't exist, to break through the football so it doesn't exist, and to break through your opponent so they don't exist.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes there are people who only meditate with a teacher. They ride the teacher's energy. They don't really learn how to meditate. They learn how to ride the energy.
Frederick Lenz
The key to all enlightenment is to have personal experiences in the world of light. All you need to do that is to meditate.
Frederick Lenz
Don't become a slave to success or failure, family, friends, possessions. If these things come to you in life, enjoy them, but fix your consciousness on that which does not change.
Frederick Lenz
Don't judge your meditations. Don't rate them. The physical mind cannot tell how well you did. As long as you are sitting there trying, something will happen.
Frederick Lenz
Up until now, women have depended completely upon men for their survival. You're dealing with thousands of years of history, where sexual slavery was the condition. While suddenly the laws may change, to some extent, the conditioning doesn't go away that fast.
Frederick Lenz
What you focus on you become. If you spend an hour or two a day meditating and focusing on light, then you will eventually become light.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism suggests there are no elect. Everything rests upon your own self-effort, which is the good news because that means you don't have to wait around for some nebulous God to help you.
Frederick Lenz
If you're studying Buddhism you never really have enough time because you're going to die.
Frederick Lenz
From the point of view of enlightenment, none of this has ever even been. All time and space, all the conditions that are apparent in the absence of enlightenment are unreal.
Frederick Lenz
I think enlightenment is something that you decide to do after you have met someone who is enlightened. Something touches your heart, your being at a very deep level.
Frederick Lenz
Timeless awareness occurs to very few in this world, to step beyond the circle of fear. The body has created a magnificent arena of fear. We have developed ways of seeing life that exclude us from seeing life.
Frederick Lenz
Lao Tsu always points a finger directly to us. He says we must begin with ourselves. It's impossible to bring order into the world unless we bring order into ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
